DeLonghi La Specialista EC9335M

This machine has been working perfectly today it is only been use minimally and now continues to leak water after checking the valve the watertank and cleaning the machine but still continues to leak water

Well we are still trying to work out just how to use it as we only like half strength. The coffee that we have had has certainly been hot enough and it looks so good sitting on the kitchen bench

These leaking issues may need to be addressed. This is unfortunate - I was excited to purchase this due to the ease of use. However these reviews have since stopped that purchase. Unfortunate. This isn't a one-off issue. This is a major issue affecting many people apparently.

Purchased a La Specialista machine in March and the pump went within the first 3 months - same problem as Paul Z had with water leaking in to drip tray when machine off. Took the machine to the service centre as instructed by Delonghi and it took 4 weeks to get fixed. Got it back and used it a few times then in August it had a different problem. I have again taken it back to the service centre and have no idea how long it will take this time. Not worth $875.00 and would not recommend.

Bought the Delonghi La Specialista today. Made 2 coffees to test it, went to make the third coffee and the machines light is just flashing advising to fill the water tank. The tank is full and installed correctly. We have tried to re-set and clean, but unable to do anything as the same warning keeps flashing. This is highly unacceptable for a $800 coffee machine that hasn’t even lasted a day! Should of stuck with Breville

The machine was easy to set up and there is just the right amount of variables to tweak to improve your coffee. Chances are that if you aren’t a coffee professional, coffee you make with that machine will be substantially better than with a professional, 10k$ setup.
I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to make great coffee at home without worrying about technique.

Purchased the coffee machine 2 weeks ago, worked well, everything working as it should, today it decided to allow all the water to flow through the machine whilst it was off and leaked out over the drip tray all over the bench and down onto the floor,
Machine has been used less than 20 times since purchase.
When the machine is off it still leaks into the drip tray and when it is on it does the same.
Something internal has failed.

Bought it online and look is beautiful, but I continue have issues with the water pushing through. I find that the milk frother does last long enough and coffee remains cold. I am buying a filter to replace the current and I hope it is adaptable and I hope that solves te problem of the water not pushing through. If this continues I maybe selling it and going back to Breville.

Indicated empty water, even it’s full . It’s 2nd machine with same problem from good guys , should be give back. Honestly machine is not according to Australian standards. So don’t waste you’re money.

This is a very easy machine to use and makes amazing coffee every time - I have never owned a coffee machine before, and have had no problems with it. The coffee could be a bit hotter but otherwise, it's perfect. I have used many different types of coffee beans with the machine as well, and it's consistently great. Perfect way to start my day - I make a coffee every morning with it and would highly recommend.

This is the best machine I have ever owned. Makes beautiful hot coffee with great crema every time. Fantastic advice from DeLonghi on how to set up the machine. Can’t fault this in any way.

So i purchased this machine yesterday.....followed all instructions.... made 2 perfect coffees.
This morning...well not so happy. Coffee wont push through....pressure gauge went into meltdown in red zone. I flushed the lines. Tried again to no avail. Adjusted the grind to a courser setting... all good but coffee lacked flavour and crema was poor. So back I went and refined the process. Once again....the machine did the same thing.
I honestly believe this machine needs to go back to the drawing board at Delonghi headquarters.
I am returning it today and looking at a Breville.

Best coffee machine I’ve ever owned. Would definitely recommend it to anyone that is looking for one and is unsure of the what to get. Had for a few weeks now and can’t fault it. The auto tamper is awesome that leaves no mess.

Had the machine for 4 weeks before we got a "general alarm" warning on the machine. It's been with a repair company for the last 6 weeks without it being fixed yet. I called Delonghi and they indicated there would be no replacement and I had to wait for it to be fixed. Pretty poor customer service on top of a faulty machine.

Easy to use and setup machine. Efficient and super quick for your morning coffee.
I can't fault it for espresso making, as you can adjust from your dose to the yield on cup which you can adjust for your preference depending of the beans you have.
cleaning is also a plus, super easy and straight forward, perfect for your every day "on-the-go" or at-home coffee.

The only downfall is the steam function, not powerful enough. weak pressure results in not creation of microfoam, milk heated to low temperature and "bubbly" milk.
